If war is hell then what comes after?
Based on the novel by Joseph Kanon, The Good German takes place in the ruins of post-WWII Berlin, where U.S. Army war correspondent Jake Geismar (George Clooney) becomes embroiled with Lena Brandt (Cate Blanchett), his former lover, whose missing husband is the object of a manhunt by both the American and Russian armies. Intrigue mounts as Jake tries to uncover the secrets Lena may be hiding in her desperation to get herself and her husband out of Berlin. Tully (Tobey Maguire), a soldier in the American army motor pool assigned to drive Jake around Berlin, has black market connections that may be Lena's way out -- or lead them all into even darker territory.

around 'berlin' 'tobey' is also involved with 'lena' and has
promised to get her out of 'berlin'
'tulley' also has a thriving 'black market' involvement.
this film has the lot, betrayel, mystery and murder to name just a few facets.
with a superb performance by the talented 'cate blanchett'
well supported by the film's 'star' 'george clooney' not to mention a credible part by 'tobey maguire' the film screened in 'black and white' is a worthwhile watch.
